General
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short
circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid
to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
• This unit is not suitable for use in explosive environments. Failure to comply may result in
damage, injury, or death.
• Always wear eye protection whenever operating hydraulic equipment.
• Always wear hearing protection as required. Refer to the sound level (dB[A]) chart.
• Operation, repair, or maintenance of hydraulic equipment should be performed by a
qualified person who understands the proper function of hydraulic equipment per local
directives and standards.
• Hydraulic equipment must be assembled correctly and then checked for proper function
before use. Use hydraulic components of the same hydraulic pressure ratings. An
appropriate hydraulic pressure gauge is recommended to monitor pressure.
• Never place your hands or other body parts near a hydraulic fluid leak. Never use your
hands or other body parts to check for a possible leak. High pressure fluid can be injected
under your skin causing serious injury and/or infection.
• High pressure fluid is present throughout a hydraulic system. Always use caution when
operating, repairing, or maintaining this equipment. Before beginning any work on any
hydraulic system component, stop the equipment, disconnect from its power source, and
relieve all pressure in all parts of the system. Do not tamper with the internal hydraulic relief
valve settings.
• Avoid exposing hydraulic equipment (especially hoses) to extreme high or low
temperatures. Damage to equipment or failure may result and cause loss of control or injury
to the operator.
• Exercise caution to avoid the risk of fire.
• Do not drop any hydraulic system components. Damage to the equipment and/or injury may
result.
• Avoid slipping or falling by cleaning up any oil spills.
• Avoid back injury by always lifting equipment carefully.
• It is strongly recommended to view the Power Team Hydraulic Safety video tape before
using hydraulic equipment.
